Achieve Digital Nirvana in Financial Services

Financial services firms are facing a rapidly changing and evolving set of business challenges such as the rise of APIs and apps, the battle over mobile services and the increasing complexity of omni-channel delivery. In an era where digital innovations are used widely by consumers and have come to be expected, there is a greater push for financial institutions to deliver a highly personalized and convenient experience that stretches across mobile, social, and digital channels. Traditional “brick and mortar” financial institutions struggle to keep up with the pace of innovation, held back by massive investments in physical locations, legacy technology, and large employee bases.

Join us as we discuss how organizations can taking a holistic view toward digital transformation across APIs and apps, mobile services, and omni-channel delivery have an opportunity to optimize their innovation initiatives across the organization.

Get the answers to these questions:
- What are the key challenges compelling firms to undertake digital transformation initiatives?
- How can financial institutions shorten deployment cycles, save costs, and improve ROI of digital projects?
- How does a two-speed approach to digital transformation ensure security, reliability and control for systems of record while offering an agility layer for innovation projects?

With Anypoint Runtime Manager 2.0, MuleSoft customers can monitor, troubleshoot, analyze and manage applications and APIs deployed in the cloud or on-premises, in a sandbox, staging or production environment from a single pane of glass.

In this demo-driven webinar, Suchi Deshpande, Sr. Product Manager, MuleSoft will show how Anypoint Runtime Manager provides a unified view of applications, servers, and APIs, no matter where they are running - increasing visibility into complex hybrid landscapes and reducing mean time to resolution when issues occur.

Treating APIs like products is emerging as an API strategy best practice. Like products, then, APIs should be designed with a specific purpose and be delivered within a software development lifecycle (SDLC) framework. MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform is built to address full API lifecycle, including the design, implementation, security and governance of APIs. In fact, Gartner recently named MuleSoft a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Application Service Governance (eventually replace with Full Lifecycle API Management). In this webinar, Aaron Landgraf will walk through the full lifecycle capabilities of Anypoint Platform in the context of a case study of an organization that wanted to productize and reuse their APIs.

Almost everyone is undergoing digital transformation, but not everyone knows the right way to do it. In a recent MuleSoft survey, 96 percent of respondents are executing on digital transformation initiatives or planning to do so in the near future.

To do this effectively, IT teams need different skill sets, tools, and more importantly, different mindsets.
